Best of 2017: Our Favorite Retail Spaces

At Design*Sponge, home tours are our bread and butter. They’re what we devote the majority of our time on and what our community loves the most. But we love getting a chance to find design inspiration beyond personal homes and in other spaces like shops, food trucks, hotels, and studios. So today we’re sharing 15 of our favorite retail spaces that knocked our socks off with great color, pattern and design details. Enjoy! –Grace

Briddie’s Floret is an incredible non-profit floral shop that’s as beautiful as it is good-spirited.

The Drifter Hotel in New Orleans has some of the coolest tropical decor.

This vegan ice cream shop is sweet and stylish.

The vine-covered entrance at Heritage Mercantile was one of our favorites of 2017.We never shy away from a great pink interior, like this Polish Patisserie.

deVOL’s kitchen showroom/studio is home to one of the greatest pink and green combos ever.
